What You’d Be Doing

As a Senior Structural Designer, you will have the opportunity to creatively solve complex problems, coordinate with team members in other engineering disciplines, and develop approaches to widely varied projects which are multi-disciplinary and vary widely in size.

· Work with a structural engineer or independently to develop drawings packages for clients that range in a simple sketch to full, ready to permit drawing packages.

· Set up site specific site plans, partial plans and detailed drawings for concrete foundations and steel buildings and supports.

· Work with vendor drawings to accurately display anchoring and mounting support, i.e pump bases, motor supports and equipment mounting.

· Utilize structural engineering documents including new engineering sketches, existing drawings and blueprints and client drawing specifications.

· Coordinate with mechanical, civil, and electrical staff to develop efficient designs and identify and mitigate interferences between disciplines.

· Coordinate with clients and contractors.

· Travel will comprise approximately 10% of your time for site investigations, design reviews and construction inspection and coordination.
